Kitty is an illogical moniker.

[science_blues]

Leonard Nimoy's established living quarters were sufficient. However, they did not possess a cat. A cat which he had specifically implied existed on the ship.

Normally, sneaking was quite an illogical venture in line with the retention of accurate information. However, when one seeks to find an organism that may or may not desire to be found, a stealthy approach is the most likely to succeed. It was, also, only logical that she begin this approach before the departure from Leonard Nimoy's established quarters, in the event that the cat was nearby.

She absolutely did not sneak out.

As Spock rounded the corner, and scanned the hallway, she realized a flaw in her plan. The cat was perfectly capable of avoiding her. A new approach was required. She would have to imply, via a distance based technique, that she bore nothing but good will for the creature. Good will and a desire to pet it.

Spock attempted verbal communication, as it was the only distance based technique she was capable of performing.

"Come here, tiny feline of a non-specified gender," Spock hazarded quietly. The cat did not come immediately. She moved down the hall and attempted verbal communication again.

"Why was Eddie not sufficiently imaginative?" Spock prompted.

Spock enjoyed cats, though, the local cat did not appear to appreciate hugs. If she were to be here for a reasonably long period of time, it would behoove her to acquire a surrogate for the purpose of hugging. Perhaps a teddy bear would be an appropriate object to fill this purpose.

"Was it not in keeping with teddy bear naming conventions?" Spock continued.

"Well, because you can name teddy bears anything you want. And Eddie is a rather...normal name."

De thought for a moment. "Like, you could name the bear, oh, I don't know, Tigger, or Ecco, or Oz...or anything that comes to mind really. But he was a rather tradtional bear, if I remember correctly, and I looked at him, and immediately declared him to be an 'Eddie.'"

He looked curiously at Spock. "Do you really not have anything like teddy bears on Vulcan?"

"No," Spock answered. "There is no one Vulcan object that serves the multiple functions you have discribed."

Spock paused and her brow furrowed as she pondered it. "Not one which I am aware of."

She looked back up. "It is a logical conglomeration, I will have to request one upon return home."

"I think that would be a nice idea," said De. "Although we might be able to get one here, somehow, if you wanted one? I think the replicators could probably make one."

He looked back down at Yontaya, who seemed happy enough with her milk and tuna. "Do you want to do anything else?" De asked, turned his attention back to Spock. "Or shall we head back?"

Spock silently considered his question and bent down to stroke Yontaya again before standing. "I am sufficiently pleased with this outing, my goal was accomplished."

Spock straightened out her dress, though it hadn't really become disheveled, and inclined her head. "If you desire to return, I shall accompany you."

"Why thank you," said De sincerely. "I'd probably get lost if I tried to head back by myself."

Spock blinked. "Then it was unwise of you to leave the quarters in search of me," Spock answered. "But no harm came of it."

She would have to accompany Deforest Kelley if he left the quarters. She did not want him to become lost. It could be very distressing.

"Shall we return?"

[de-forest.livejournal.com]

"Let's."

He refrained from offering his hand out to her this time, instead letting her lead the way as they walked back to their quarters.
